Increased pressure in the eyes can damage the optic nerve. Severe damage of the optic nerve results in loss of vision. If Glaucoma can be treated early, you can protect your vision.
Glaucoma can turn out to be a very serious issue if it is not treated on time. As people with glaucoma do not feel any pain and since there is no early indication, it can be very hard to detect. Regular eye check-up can help detect glaucoma at an early stage, thus preventing vision loss. In addition to relying on modern medicine for treating glaucoma, many people are using alternative form of treatment, such as acupuncture for treating glaucoma.
Glaucoma- causes
Aqueous humor is the fluid in the eye that flows out through a channel. When this mesh like channel gets blocked, the fluid pressure builds up. This pressure, otherwise known as the intraocular pressure, increases when the fluid does not circulate properly. As a result of increased pressure and lack of circulation of the fluid, the channel gets blocked resulting in glaucoma. Acupuncture treatment for glaucoma usually will involve reducing the intraocular pressure by stimulating the right acupuncture points in the body. There are two types of glaucoma; open angle glaucoma and angle closure glaucoma. Angle closure glaucoma can cause more discomfort than the former one. Both types can be treated by acupuncture. e
